How To Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Around the Assembly area and along the Buford Highway corridor, a lot of Doraville homeowners are discovering that pool-side artificial turf solves a real problem. That DeKalb clay soil we've got here doesn't drain like you'd want it to, and constant foot traffic around a pool deck turns yards into mud pits pretty fast. Real grass struggles in those wet zones, but synthetic turf handles it beautifully—no more brown patches, no erosion, and your pool area stays clean and usable year-round. We're just 25 minutes away, and we've installed dozens of pool turfs in your ZIP codes (30340 and 30360), so we know exactly what works in this neighborhood. The redevelopment energy in Doraville means a lot of newer properties are getting upgraded outdoor spaces, and pool turf is becoming the go-to choice for homeowners who want a maintenance-free, premium-looking deck. If you've been thinking about it, we can walk you through the whole installation process and show you why artificial turf makes sense for your specific yard and soil conditions.
Doraville's heavy DeKalb clay is actually one of the biggest reasons pool turf makes sense here. That clay doesn't drain naturally, so poolside areas stay waterlogged and create perfect conditions for algae, mold, and dead grass patches. Synthetic turf sits on top of a proper drainage base, so water moves right through instead of pooling around your deck. Sun exposure varies a lot depending on whether you're in the Assembly area or further into the residential pockets off Buford Highway—some yards get afternoon shade from mature trees, others are completely open. We design the base layer (crushed stone and sand) differently depending on your site's drainage situation. Most Doraville residential pools have compact yards, so we often work with limited space and existing hardscape. HOA rules in some neighborhoods are strict about turf color and pile height, so we'll verify those before installation. The redeveloped sections near MARTA and The Assembly tend to have younger landscaping, which means fewer root conflicts—a real advantage. We always account for the local clay when calculating subsurface prep; it's thicker here than in other parts of Georgia, and that changes how we build your base.
Yes—that's actually one of the best reasons to install it here. Our drainage system sits above DeKalb's clay layer, so water bypasses the soil completely. We use crushed stone and a permeable base that channels water away from the pool area. No standing water, no mud, and no algae growth on your deck. Your pool stays cleaner too.
Some do. We've worked with several Doraville HOAs and know which neighborhoods have landscape guidelines. Before we start, we'll confirm your specific rules—pile height, color, and backing type often come up. Most HOAs are fine with high-quality synthetic turf around pools since it's clearly artificial and low-maintenance.
Most Doraville pools take 2-4 days depending on yard size and base prep. Since we're 25 minutes away, we can schedule efficiently. The clay soil sometimes requires extra grading work, but we factor that into our timeline and quote upfront so there are no surprises.
DIY is possible, but Doraville's clay soil makes professional installation worth it. The subsurface work is critical—getting the drainage base right over clay prevents future problems. Our crew has the equipment and experience to handle DeKalb's specific conditions. Most homeowners find the cost justified by avoiding costly rework.
